IMPROVEMENT IN GRAINDISTRIBUTERS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,695. dated July 31, 1877; application filed June 4, 1877.

which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a vertical central section of my improved grain-distributer, taken on line an x, Fig. 2; and Fig. 2.is a top view, partly in horizontal section on line y y, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention relates to an improved graindistributer for elevator-heads, by which any scattering of grain is avoided and the same delivered to as many bins as desired.

It consists of a distributer with radial spouts and of an interior revolving cylinder with dishing bottom, having exit-apertures of a size corresponding with the spoutopenings.

In the drawing, A represents a cylindrical casing or receptacle, provided with any desired number of inclined bin-spouts B, radiating at the lower part from the same. The casing A is secured to the elevator-head, and leaves no room for scattering grain. 'Io the interior of the casing A is fitted a revolving cylinder, O, having -inclined or disbing bottom, forming a spout-shaped aperture, a, that registers with any one of the bin-spouts B. The bottom O is operated by the ordinary index-rod D, that is attached to the center of the bottom O.

The connection of spouts and casing with the tightly-Ettin g discharge-cylinder prevents the scattering of the grain, and furnishes a stronger, more durable, and cheaper distributer than those at present in use.

The spouts are secured to the graindelivering tubes and the adjustable bottom set to any one of the spouts, as required.

The distributer is secured by a top flange to the elevator-box, and serves in ciective manner for the purpose for which it is designed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A grain-distributer forelevator-heads, consisting of an outer casing With a number of inclined bin -spouts, and of an interior revolving cylinder with inclined or dishing bottom and spoutshaped exit-aperture, registering with the bin-spouts, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
